1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundPrimary chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) can be classified based on the sinuses involved and the dominant endotype of the mucosal inflammation. Since the introduction of type 2 targeted biologics as treatment option for CRS, assessment of the inflammatory status has gained importance in CRS patients. We here aimed to characterize CRS patients with and without elevated markers of type 2 inflammation.

methodsCRS patients who visited the outpatient ENT clinic in one of the 10 tertiary centers in 7 European countries were invited to use the Galenus Health mobile application for the monitoring of their disease.

resultsCRS patients (n = 281) were stratified according to blood eosinophil counts or BEC (< 150 cells/μL: 21.6% of patients, ≥ 150 cells/μL: 78.4%; < 250 cells/μL: 36.3%, ≥ 250 cells/μL: 63.7%) and serum total IgE (< 100 IU/mL: 59.9%, ≥ 100 IU/mL: 40.1%). BEC and serum total IgE did not correlate well (Spearman r = 0.06; p = 0.39). CRS patients with BEC ≥ 150 cell/μL or ≥ 250 cells/μL, respectively, showed increased NPS, SNOT-22, VAS for total CRS symptoms, loss of smell, nasal blockage, runny nose compared to patients with BEC below 150 or 250 cells/μL. CRS patients with increased serum total IgE (≥ 100 IU/mL) did not show differences in the outcome parameters compared to patients with levels below 100 IU/mL. CRS patients with asthma (58.9%) showed increased SNOT-22 and VAS loss of smell compared to patients without asthma.

conclusionsA significant proportion of CRS patients exhibit a type 2 endotype, characterized by blood eosinophilia (78%), increased serum total IgE (40%) and/or concomitant asthma (59%). Our results underline the usefulness of eosinophils as a marker of type 2 inflammation and severity but challenge the utility of serum total IgE since it does not correlate with any of the markers of severity.
